What are the differences and similarities between coaching and mentoring?
Coaching is more performance-driven; this is where your supervisor will go over your stats over a period of time. This is designed to improve your on-the-job professionalism.

Mentoring is development-driven; this is looking more of a holistic approach to developing your career. The structure of coaching is scheduled meetings that are either weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. With mentoring is pretty much informal and, on a need, to know basis.

Discuss a time when you were involved with or were witness to a coaching situation.
What coaching strategies were implemented? Were they effective? Why or why not?

At my last job, we coached monthly over things we need to improve or things we did right. We focused on the agenda of meeting goals, the time frame we needed to meet those goals.

This was used to improve behavior, enhance the customer experience by refreshing our skills, improve or address our behavior.

It was effective because it gave us a guide on what we need to improve and how long we have to get it correct we also knew what our consequences were if we did not get it corrected.

What suggestions might you give the coach for future coaching?
Always stay connected to your subordinate. You have to be motivative, and empower the team to be the best they can be, no only for the sake of the company but mostly for themselves.

When discussing Cardiovascular Disease ,we have learned there are many disparities between people of higher and lower Socioeconomic Status (SES) in terms of resources, stressors, and outcomes (e.g. higher mortality).Read the following journal article from Current Directions in Psychological Science:

Socioeconomic status and health: What is the role of reserve capacity?
Minimize File Preview

Then, answer the following questions:

a. What is reserve capacity? How does it relate to health outcomes? (In other words what is the main point of the article?)

b. Use an example to explain in your own words how reserve capacity can help buffer the negative effects that low Socioeconomic Status has on health.

On page 271, the authors state that “a conceptual limitation of the literature is the focus on a single factor [perceived control or social support]. What is the problem with only looking at one factor?

As a society, we sometimes make efforts to address socioeconomic status in order to improve the overall health of the population. What are the benefits of this “prevention” focus? What are the drawbacks? Think in terms of both economics and health for individuals, the taxpaying public, and health insurance purchasers.

What can we do aside from political efforts or major social/societal changes to help those of low-SES stay healthy?
